The following from an Illinois paper is
true Of the editor of every lpe local pa
per: ut is very little trouble to tell the
editor the nam of a friend who is visit
ing you or to write it IN a postal and
send it into the office: or to give any 9TH
er little item of news that may come
under your notice. Don't think we
don't want such items, we can nearly al
ways find a place for them. If you get
a letter from some former resident, tell
ing of his good or ill fortune, come in
and tell us all about it, ten to one it is an
item that will interest many others rs
much as it does you. and you ought to
be willing to share it with them. But
have pity on us and don't bring in any
five column clippings, We keep shears
of our own"

In canvassing the election returns in
Aurora county the commissioners threw
out the vote of the city of Plankinton
for reasons we have not learned. The
saloon keepers propose to contest the
local option law.
1t has been shown that the election
notice required by law was not legally
given in Dawson county. The attorneys
on both sides-prohibition an license
agree to submit the case on n statement
of facts to Judge Trip for decision, and
avoid litigation.

Secretary Lamar has at last plainly in
formed Sparks that one of them must re-
sign. After reversing one of Sparks
latest rulings he oncluded by saying:
The practical effect of your present
course is that you cannot execute my
orders and follow my instructions and
cooperate in my administration without
surrendering opinions which should be
conscientiously entertained with refer
ence to a vitality important interest. 1t
is impossible for me. in c%ontravention of
my own opinions, arrived at after long
and anxious study, to surrender them to
you. Under these circumstances it is
due to the orderly and decorous admin
istration of the government, to impor-
liant public interests, to the common
cause contided into our hands by the
president, and to PERSONAL regard we
should both entertain for him, that he
shall be allowed to choose a secretary of
the interior who will conform his ad-
ministration to your opinions, or APP
point a commissioner of public lands
who will administer his bureau in har-
mony of spirit and concert of action with
the chief of the department. This alter
native shall submit to the president.

BASE BALL.

They played Sunday game of
base ball at Nashville recently in
defiance of all law and public senti-
ment The times are out of joint
amy way on this Sunday business.
fla man stays quietly at home and
observes Sunday "as day of rest"
he is liable to be hauled over the Goals
by the preacher man of his civil dis
trict; and If he goes out for a walk
and finds himself surrounded by q
base ball club he is liable to be called
up before Judge Bailey on blue
Monday morning and classed as no
better than one of the wicked; and,
if in the quietude of his home he
endeavors to drive away sinful
thoughts by reading the newspapers
lie Is struck color-blind by the start
ling words "Base Balp at the head
of the column followed by such idiotic
statements as these:
"The Louisvilles played an almost
perfect game in the field"
"Werrick and Mack gave a fine
exhibition Of base work, and Pete
Browning distinguished himself in
centre field. In the eighth inning
Toy knocked terrific ball to right
centre field, but Browning got under
it by hard running"
"Little Sticker did the best work
for the visitors, and Mann made q
beautiful one-hand catch of Whites
fly in the sixth inning"
Such talk as this shows clearly
enough that the newspaper men are
a. the bottom of all this wickedness
and through their influence the con.
tagion has spread and this demoraliz'
ing game has been carried into the
wuy-back districts where society has
not yet arrived at the white vest and
lawn sociable period. The remedy
for this Sunday wickedness lies tC
some extent in the fact that Sunday
is perverted from its true purpose a.
a Cay Of rest and changed into day
OF dress and worry and excitement
and display among many Of our goot
people, and, as one extreme brings
Oh another, some Of our people GROVE

A NOBLE ACT.

A GENEROUS act was performed by
Mai. A. w. Wills, of Nashville while
the lots were being sold In Florence.
Mrs. Wood, wife of Judge Wood,
President of the Company wanted a
lot for a Confederate Monument to be
decided to the Ladies' Association.
The Company gave the lot readily
and not only gave one lot but also
another lot for the ladies to sell. This
latter suggestion was, we believe,
made by our townsman Hon. Q. G.
Smith, though he is too generous to
acknowledge it. After all this Maj.
Wills bought a lot for $1,000 and gave
ii to the ladies' Association. The
special generosity of this act of Maj.
Wills consists in the fact that he
"wore the blue" during the war, and
ii therefore shows that he honors
brave men and sympathises most
fully with the patriotic ladies OF
Florence who cherish the memory OF
their friends. This single act on the
part of Mhj. Wills insures the fact
that he will never lack friends while
he lives, nor monument when he
passes away.

The following letter from Mr.. An
drew Mayer Of Philadelphia, to the
American explains itself, and at the
same time does justice to the gentle
men interested in the Florence Land
Company. The sale Of the lots was
openly and honestly conducted and
all unprecedented parties who were
present are witnesses to the fact. We
commend the letter of Mr.. Mayer to
all who desire to understand the
whole matter;
NASHVILLE, April 20, iss7.--To The Ameri-

KITTY oF CoLERAINE.

The quaint old Irish ballad "Kitty
of Coleraine," is charmingly illus
trated by Edwin A. Abbey in the
May Harper's. AS this little ballad
is seldom found in collections of
poetry, we reprint it entire:
AS beautiful Kitty one morning was tripping,
With a pitcher of milk from the lair of
Coleraine,
When she saw me she stumbled, the pitcher
it tumbled,
plain.
Oh, what shall do. now9 Twas looking at
Sure, sure, such pitcher I'll meier meet
flaws the pride of my dairy. Oh, Barney
You're sent as plague to the girls OF
Coleraine:
/ sat down beside her, and gently did chide
That such misfortune should give her
such pain.
A kiss then / gave ner. Before did leave
her,
She vow'd for such pleasure she'd break 1t
again.
Twas the haymaking season. Icant tell the
Ieason---
Mlsfortanes will never come singis-that's
plain
For, very soon after poor Kitty's disaster,
The devil pitcher was whole in CoIeraine'
The authorship of these verses Is
generally given as anonymous, but
careful investigation has recently
discovered that the writer Is Edward
Lysaght. Mr.. Abbey's illustrations
are four beautiful pages, beside a
head-piece and tail-piece. The eli
max expressed in the last line is the
